When you can't see your toes because of your belly, your chances of living a shorter, fatter life go up.

When you skip breakfast everyday, your chances of living a shorter, fatter life go up.

55-40 Points-Congratulations! You will live the shortest, fattest life possible!  Enjoy it while you can, It won't be much longer.
39-25 Points- You're doing okay with shortening your life span but if you just let yourself slip a bit more you should be dead before you know it, You've got several promising bad habits.
24-20 Points- You have your occasional slip-ups but overall you are failing at  dying early, keep trying though. All it takes is a little slacking and in a decade or two, you can undo all your success.
Under 19 Points- You've failed miserably at living the short, fat life. You'll probably live a longer, slimmer life than most of the rest of us but oh well, at least we won't be around to witness it.
